Weather in Ojen (Marbella, Malaga, Spain)
Posted by Nikki in Apartment, Ojen weather, Property, Townhouse on August 5, 2009
The weather in Ojen has just cooled to around the 30 deg. C. and will remain like this for the following week. This is a welcome relief, and the next couple of months are probably the most pleasing and comfortable months of the year. You will still have great beach days, but if sightseeing is your thing, it can be done in a more relaxed and pleasant temperature. Visit Ojen, Guaro, Monda, Coin, Ronda, etc. All these villages have places of interest to visit, and refreshments and snacks can be purchased at local prices.
Bargain Properties in Ojen (Marbella, Malaga, Spain)
Posted by Keith in Apartment, Bargain Properties, News and Events, Property, Townhouse, Villa, Website on June 4, 2009
K&N still have a few absolute bargain properties for sale. Most are being sold at around 30-35% discount from their original advertised price. These prices were largely set with the weak Euro to Pound exchange (early this year almost 1 Euro to 1 Pound Sterling) taken into consideration. As you are no doubt aware, the pound is recovering against the Euro. The rate this morning, 4th June 2009 was 1.15205 Euros to the Pound, which alone gives another 15% buying power, and the forecast is that the Pound will strengthen even more by mid Summer, some predictions as high as 1.250 Euros to the Pound. This is a great time to purchase before these prices have to be re-adjusted upwards. All prices are guaranteed as soon as a deposit is paid. Keep an eye on the exchange rate with our CURRENCY CONVERTER on this blog, and indeed view our website to see the bargain apartments, townhouses and villas available in Ojen, Marbella, Coin etc. Alternatively call us for friendly advice on (0034) 952 881628, (0034) 686 031207 or by E-Mail to help@kandnpropertybuying.com www.kandnpropertybuying.com

The weather in Ojen, Spain for Tuesday 5th May 2009. This is not a predicted report, but the actual weather as seen from my terrace and the K&N office window at 10.00am. Today is glorious sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, with temperatures of around 22 degrees C. with clear views down the valley to the Mediterranean coast of Marbella. There is a no wind and clear views across the Mediterranean to the horizon. This is a perfect day for a cool beer on the terrace of one of the many bars or cafes on the Ojen Plaza (village square) followed by a lunch in one of the fine restaurants, then a relaxing afternoon on one of Marbella’s beaches only 10 minutes away. Alternatively you could go and visit one of the neighbouring villages such as Coin, Guaro or Monda or take a drive to the beautiful village of Ronda.
The Ojen Feria (La Feria de Ojen)
Posted by Keith in Ferias, News and Events, Ojen Activities, Ojen Music on April 24, 2009
The Ojen Feria is an event not to be missed. This party is to honour Ojens saint (San Dionisio) and lasts five days from the 8th of October. The celebrations take place in the village square, and the surrounding streets virtually day and night. There are live bands playing, a fun fair with all the usual amusements, and as well as all the normal bars and restaurants open, there are remote bars set up around the square selling their tapas and pinchitos at attractive prices. You will see the locals in all their finery, with many women dressed in traditional Flamenco costume. Many visitors come up from Marbella, as well as the surrounding villages of Monda, Coin, and Guaro. If you wish to stay for the weekend, K&N can normally find some accommodation in the village if booked early, or if you want to enjoy the party, but retreat later for a little peace and quiet the Ecohotel (10 minutes away is recommended).

BEAUTIFUL SPANISH VILLAGES
Posted by Nikki in Uncategorized on March 12, 2009
DON’T FORGET THE ANDALUCIAN VILLAGES ………..
Ojen
Many people forget about the beautiful, quaint Andalucian villages tucked away in the mountains when they visit the Costa del Sol!
One of the most popular destinations along the coast is still Marbella with its beautiful beaches and shopping facilities; not forgetting the Port and Marbella Old Town. What many people don’t realise are the beauties that lay just a 10 minute drive inland. A visit to the stunning white village of Ojen, for example, can offer a whole new Spanish experience …a real chance to experience the culture and mix with the locals. This may sound daunting but the locals are very welcoming to tourists and you will soon find that there are many ways around the language barrier!!!
If you enjoy Ojen why not drive a bit further inland and visit the villages of Monda, Guaro and Coin. Coin is the largest of these villages and is probably best explored by car!
HOTEL IN OJEN (NEAR MARBELLA)
Posted by Nikki in Featured, News and Events on March 10, 2009
La Pasada Del Angel
Calle Mesones No. 21 Ojen, Malaga, Spain (Costa del Sol)
952 881808
La Pasada Del Angel
La Pasada Del Angel is a beautiful rural hotel situated very close to the village square of Ojen. It has 17 double bedrooms, each having a different theme. The hotel has Satellite TV and internet access. The structure of the hotel has many genuine Moorish features and is built around a fabulous internal patio. Inside is nicely furnished with antiques, classic and contempary paintings adorn the walls. As Ojen is situated only 10 minutes from Marbella, Costa del Sol, the hotel has fantastic access to the beach and shops.
I regard this as the number one hotel in central Ojen for its good level of service and very quiet surroundings. This hotel has been much favoured by K&N customers who have stayed there. ***
WHAT TO SEE IN OJEN
Posted by Nikki in Featured, New item, News and Events on March 8, 2009
PLACES TO VISIT IN OJEN (Malaga, Spain)
Church of La Encarnacion
The church of the Encarnación was built over an old mosque in the 16th century, the minaret of which survives as the present church spire and bell-tower. Inside there is a single nave with a beautifully decorated timber ceiling. The church also houses a statue of Ojen’s beheaded saint.
El Molino Museum and Gallery
This museum is situated on the site of the last aguardiente factory in Ojén. The ancient mill can be worked by waterpower or electricity, and produced one of the most valued products of the locality: olive oil. Now open to the public and sometimes used by artists to display their works.
Fuente de los Chorros
This typical Andalusian fountain was erected in Ojen to symbolise the village’s plentiful supply of water. The water flows from here through channels that date from Moorish times to irrigate the land below the village, just as it was used hundreds of years ago. The water is a must to sample; untreated but pure spring water, favoured by the locals for drinking.
Surrounding Countryside
The Mountains around Ojén are heavily forested with oak, pine, cork trees and an area of pinsapo trees; a rare species of Mediterranean pine. There are numerous animal species here too, such as the mountain goat, the royal eagle and the royal owl. One can also see in the area genets, mongoose, polecats and a host of smaller animals. The flora here is especially rich too, with an abundance of medicinal plants, herbs and wild flowers. Along the river Almadán and in the area known as the Charco de las Viñas one can spot interesting reptiles and amphibians. The Mountain tracks are very popular with hikers and mountain bikers. Particular care must be taken in the hot dry months as forest fires are easily started by a disguarded cigarette or people who decide to have a barbeque.
Museo de Vino
This museum is on the site of the old Anis distillery. A guided tour with wine tasting can be arranged. After sampling there is a wide selection of Malaga wines to be purchased. Also there is a large range of gifts that make ideal presents or mementos of your visit.
C/Carrera, 39. Open every day in summer from 11 to 3 pm and 6 to 10 pm, and in winter from 11 to 3 pm and 4 to 8 pm. Tel: 952 881 453
La Picina de Ojen (swimming pool)
The Ojen swimming pool is a real treat in the summer months. Often mistaken for a private country club, this facility can be used for just a couple of Euros a day; sunbeds extra. Beside the pool is a very nice bar and restaurant serving meals into the late evening. The food is very good, as are the prices. Drinks are normal village prices.
Easy access is from the Marbella to Coin road, via the Mirador (viewing point) from where it can be seen, situated just below. Car parking available.
